Sahara: Algeria reveals its strategy to punish France

Algeria is toughening its tone against France, which recently expressed its support for Morocco’s plan for autonomy in the Sahara. Algiers is reportedly threatening to “punish” Paris for changing its position on the issue.

According to the Algerian daily EchoroukAlgeria is preparing to take punitive measures against France, in response to its support for Morocco’s plan for autonomy in the Sahara. Algiers intends to exert pressure on Paris in particular on the economic, historical and cultural levels, the same source claims, specifying that in the coming days, the Algerian parliament should adopt a law aimed at firmly condemning the acts committed in Algeria by France as a colonizer.
